Shuvosangho launches sewing training centre in Faridpur

Bashundhara Shuvosangho has launched a sewing training centre in Faridpur sadar upazila to help women develop skills, become self-reliant and contribute to their families’ financial well-being.

The centre was inaugurated on Saturday afternoon under an initiative of the Bashundhara Shuvosangho Faridpur district unit. A total of 20 women will receive free sewing training over three months.

Shuvosangho members said, “The district unit has planned to provide free sewing training to 100 women across five upazilas of Faridpur in phases. Each course will last three months, and women who successfully complete the training will receive sewing machines free of charge to help them start their own work.”

Speakers at the inauguration said women play a vital role in families and society, adding that improving their living standards would contribute to the progress of families, society and the country.

“Financial assistance alone is not enough to make women self-reliant; they also need opportunities to learn practical skills. Sewing training can help them become self-employed, work from home or establish small businesses, increasing their income and easing financial pressure on their families,” they added.

Among those present at the inauguration were Shuvosangho Faridpur district unit President Tanmoy Roy, General Secretary Sonia Sultana, Treasurer Tihan Ahmed and other members of the organisation. Trainer Seema Saha also attended the event.
